So I know, it's been a while! But I finally feel as if I have some update-worthy information!
First.... WE HAVE A CHURCH! Ok so I know that I already shared that news and pictures previously. Anyone that knows me knows that I am always second guessing my decisions and as it got closer to the day I decided maybe it was important for me to have a long center aisle to walk down.
Now one would think that this would be an easy thing to find. It's not! In my desparation I even started looking at the absurdly expensive churches downtown. By expensive I mean it starts at $1500! The most expensive one was $6500!!!! Crazy. It really just turned me off of the churches because aside from cost, I really think its disgusting to charge people that much to get married in the house of the Lord! I mean come on people!!
The perfect church existed in Wanamaker, Indiana, a few miles from my house. The problem is that they decided to no longer allow non-member weddings after they found beer cans and pot after the last non-member wedding (which is horrible!). Well my oh-so-wonderful mother who has more balls than most people I know attended church there, was introduced to the pastor, explained the situation... and well long story short we now have a wonderful church! It only hinges on us completing the necessary paperwork and pre-marital counseling. I can't tell you enough what a relief this was!

Here is a little sneak peak of the interior... but I promise this picture does not do justice to St. Johns Lutheran Church!
In addition to that, I officially paid for my dress and veil... again this makes it oh so real! I was a little apprehensive and having second thoughts when we went to the bridal shop and I saw other pretty dresses that I had not tried on. Once I had MY dress on though I knew it was the one!
This month I have some goal, and I feel like if I publish them on here then I will be held accountable:
- Order and send the Save the Dates
- Lose at least another 4lbs
- Start officially looking at invitations
- Pick out bridesmaid dresses
- Don't fail student teaching because I am so busy with wedding madness!
So we will see how it goes!
